Pension Office Rev. Records Div
Dear Sirs In Conn. Rev. records, P. 649, I find that one, John Mountain, was an invalid pensioner, & resided Middlesex Co. He is a family ancestor, I think, and will be greatly obliged if you will give me any information as to birth & death dates, & any other family information, which the records in his case, may disclose.
Thanking you in advance for any courtesy
I am very sincerely Frederick W. Steele as att

Rev. War Section.
Acting Commissioner.
September 27, 1919.
Mr. Frederick M. Steele, 850 North Sheridan Road, Highland Park, Illinois.
Sir:
In response to your letter dated the eighth instant, you are advised that the list published in the Connecticut Records, page 649, under " INVALID PENSIONERS - RESIDENCE NOT STATED ", was taken from the report of the Secretary of War printed in 1835, Volume I page 21 of the Connecticut Pension Roll, which shows,
" John Fountain , Private, Revolutionary Army, pensioned at $60. per annum from March 4, 1789 under the Act of June 7, 1785".
There is no further information in this Bureau concerning him as there are no papers on file, the same having been destroyed in the burning of the War Office in 1800.
Very respectfully,
E. C. Newman Acting Commissioner.
